Charlie Garcia, president of C Garcia and Associates, has learned that every project management problem really needs a people-focused solution. He grew up in the construction industry and learned early on to take responsibility for what's broken AND what's going right. In this episode, you'll hear Charlie describe a problem completely caused by other people but making him look bad. Like losing millions of dollars bad. He lost a lot of sleep fixing this hot mess, but didn't waste a second trying to blame others. He simply got to work. During this episode listen to Charlie tell how he solved an expensive problem by working with people, not against them. Plus many more insights like these: If you're growing and leading, hot messes are unavoidable If you can't figure out what's going on, go watch the problem in action A plan isn't the only thing you need to be successful Don't circumvent the process; running your ideas up the chain of command is essential Take responsibility for solving problems...not fixing people. Being stuck in emotion stops you solving problems The curse of the overachiever: you think you're failing; others think you're a rock star There is great wisdom in a multitude of experiences. You don't need others' permission to lead. Success comes from taking risks. Instead of saying, "What don't I have?" Ask, "What do I have? To be successful, be more selfish. Selfishness means taking the responsibility AND the rewards. Don't be Teflon Pete. What overachievers get wrong about outpacing other people If you have a hard time asking for help, at least seek counsel Simple solutions have big impact Powerful self coaching questions you can use to feel successful About Charlie Garcia Charlie J. Garcia is the owner and President of C Garcia Associates consulting firm and has won numerous awards including the 1994 Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young, and Small Businessman of the Year in 2000 by the SBA. He has proudly called Indianapolis his home since the late 1980s. Born in San Francisco, California, Garcia attended the College of San Mateo, and graduated from the Way College of Biblical Research. Garcia attended Butler University, and has also graduated from Dartmouth University, and University of California, Los Angeles Executive Programs. Charlie has served the business and nonprofit community extensively on boards such as Butler University, Bank One (Indiana) Federal Reserve Bank, the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, Indiana Progress Industry Committee, Crossroads of America Boy Scouts, and the Challenge School Academy Charter School. Garcia's greatest contributions in many ways are his efforts to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs. The mentoring program he developed has been adopted by the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce to assist minority and women-owned businesses to grow at rates of 20 to 60 percent. Lead Kick Ass Meetings: Complimentary Resource Meetings are a really expensive use of your time. It only makes sense that they need to be more productive and valuable. Instead of running meetings that could have been an email, lead powerful meetings that have purpose, participation, and problem solving.

I don’t know about you, but I never feel quite caught up. Thanks to my high tech Post It Note strategy (Every night I list the 3 things, and no more, I must get done the next day and put it on my laptop) I get the most critical things done but there’s always more to do. What saves my bacon every day is that I have a superb team around me and they have systems and processes that allow them to work miracles and keep me on the straight and narrow. Like most agency owners, I have a short attention span and it’s easy for me to get distracted. Our systems pull me back to center. Every business is made up of processes and systems, whether you have them documented or not. If your systems are informal or tribal, then odds are you and your team aren’t being as efficient or effective as you could be. You are literally trying to shove more work into a system that is simply too small. That’s where my podcast guest, Terry Ogburn comes in. He works with entrepreneurs and their teams to create repeatable success through a system he developed through his own experience and the teachings of some of his favorite business books. Terry Ogburn is the owner and Lead Business Coach of Ogburn’s Business Solutions. His proprietary coaching system and personal devotion to the development of others has contributed to the success of hundreds of small to large business ventures.

In 1985, successful in his business and recognized as a leader in the business community, he began to mentor other small business owners.   What you’ll learn about in this episode: How the absence of good, repeatable systems keeps a business from growing Terry’s eight steps of business development that can be applied to every business Why you need job descriptions for every process inside your agency (and why each description doesn’t need to equal a full time employee) Removing your ego from your business What numbers agency owners need to look at, even if you don’t like numbers Protecting your bottom line by passing costs on to your customers How to carve out the time to work on your business when you are busy working in the business Creating a business development plan Ways to contact Terry Ogburn: Website: www.terryogburn.com We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!
